I went on a date
I went on a date the other day.

Yup, the 2 of us,
hand in hand,
walking around
aimlessly
before settling in this
'quaint' tea-house cum shop
"Eclectic Attic" is the name.

It sells antique furnitures,
trinkets and rare objects,
as well as tea-cakes and scones
and fresh-brewed tea.

It sold more than a typical
English cream tea for me..
It sold memories
of a past life
Of drives
in the countryside
Deliberately using
the roads less travelled
To look out for
Quaint tea houses
in Quaint little villages

Of the better days
When life was not
Contaminated
Scarred
When the hurts
could be healed
Quickly
& forgiven
in a heart beat.

I shared this,
Reminising,
Letting out
little secrets
so long forgotten;
in settings as such
it's easy to recollect
without
any
bitter taste.

My date too,
shared
the memories,
the joy
the hurts that
Punctuated
the life thus far..

We got to know each other
anew
afresh
again...

It's strange really,
considering
we are
old friends

It's good
that we 'renewed'
our acquaintances
catching up
right
where
we left off.

It's good,
No
It's vital

Because
there is no other way
In this action-packed
world,
to get to know
the ones
you love
once again

You have to
make time
to listen
to date

Especially
if

your date

is your daughter... =)

Haha.... gotcha!
